Chapter 454: Chapter 183: Mortal Realm No.1 Missile Reserve Base

Soon—

He soon noticed something was off. A pillar of rain, almost as solid as a Celestial Pillar, descended upon him from the sky, but there was no stinging pain. It was like a spring rain nourishing all living things as waves of warmth spread through his body.

It was pure bliss.

’This is the Verdant Rain from Heaven... a Celestial Dao Blessing...’

Once he figured out what was happening, he stopped worrying. A moment later, the heavy rain slowly faded away.

Not a cloud was left in the sky.

There was no sign that it had just rained. There were no puddles on the ground; even his clothes weren’t wet.

’Nice.’

Chen Fan smiled and glanced over at Hey Hey, who was lying nearby. Other than his body feeling lighter and his lifespan seemingly extended, he hadn’t felt many other effects of the Celestial Dao Blessing.

But—

That was more than enough.

All the Max Level buildings in the Mortal Realm had gained a Celestial Dao Blessing effect. Even buildings like the Max Level Farmland—structures he would never dream of using a Celestial Dao Stone on unless he had more than he knew what to do with—had received the blessing.

This was equivalent to gaining over a dozen Celestial Dao Stones at once.

Considering the price of a Celestial Dao Stone,

the rewards the Mortal Realm reaped from defending Jiangbei during the rainy season were by no means small.

Most importantly—

He gazed at the Eternal Night Lord panel deep within his soul, focusing on the information for the Bridge. He would have never used a Celestial Dao Stone on a Bridge; after all, bridges weren’t all that useful to the Mortal Realm.

They were just a means of crossing a body of water, linking two places for the High-speed Rail to pass through.

They weren’t worth a single Celestial Dao Stone.

But...

If it weren’t for this, he never would have known the Bridge building could have this kind of Celestial Dao Blessing Effect.

-

"The ’Bridge’ has obtained three Celestial Dao Blessing Effects. Please select one within one hundred breaths."

"A building may only possess one Celestial Dao Blessing Effect."

"You have made your selection."

"Celestial Dao Blessing Effect (Magpie Bridge Meeting): Newlyweds who marry on the bridge will receive the Celestial Dao’s protection. The couple can wish for their offspring to become a specific type of special Cultivator, with a certain probability of fulfillment. However, the offspring must be the couple’s own."

-

Simply put,

for example, if he were to marry a woman on the bridge and wish for his child to become an Architect, there would be a certain probability of that wish coming true. The exact odds were unknown, but they would definitely be higher than before.

If he were sick in the head and wanted his child to become a Night Watcher, that would be possible too.

Chen Fan grinned.

He didn’t know how much longer the Eternal Night Continent could last, but he planned to promote the use of this bridge in Jiangbei. That way, over the next decade or so, many more Architects would be born, and they would become the foundation of the Mortal Realm’s strength.

Homegrown Architects.

The Mortal Realm was actually in dire need of Architects.

Tasks like laying Copper Pipes were something only he could do, but things like constructing bridges and building stations could be completely handed over to other Architects. Granted, other Architects weren’t as fast as him and consumed more resources.

But it was still better than him having to run all over the place himself.

He couldn’t be everywhere at once.

As the Mortal Realm continued to develop, it would be impossible for him to handle constructing every single building by himself.

Besides that,

there were many Celestial Dao Blessing Effects for other Max Level buildings that he’d never imagined. This event was a huge, pleasant surprise. For instance:

-

"The ’Suspended Basket’ has obtained three Celestial Dao Blessing Effects. Please select one within one hundred breaths."

"A building may only possess one Celestial Dao Blessing Effect."

"You have made your selection."

"Celestial Dao Blessing Effect (Drawing Water in a Sieve): Freely resizable and extremely durable."

-

The Suspended Basket.

This was the Mortal Realm High-speed Rail.

It had one drawback: the Suspended Basket’s space was limited, so it couldn’t accommodate very large items. To transport a large volume of goods, one had to build sufficiently long cars. Now, with this new effect, the basket’s size could be increased both horizontally and vertically, which would drastically improve the Mortal Realm’s transport capacity.

These Celestial Dao Blessing Effects...

...were all hand-picked by him.

They might seem unremarkable,

but in reality, each was chosen to best meet the Mortal Realm’s needs. And when he couldn’t find a suitable option, he would at least try to pick a heavy hitter.

Of course—

the true heavy hitter was the one he’d been fixated on: the Celestial Pillar.

He had come to the Port with the intention of using one of the two Celestial Dao Stones he’d harvested during the rainy season on the Celestial Pillar. Now, he could only feel grateful that his journey back and forth had been delayed. Otherwise, the Verdant Rain would have descended right after he’d used the stone.

He would have been upset.

Very upset.

-

"The ’Celestial Pillar’ has obtained three Celestial Dao Blessing Effects. Please select one within one hundred breaths."

"A building may only possess one Celestial Dao Blessing Effect."

"You have made your selection."

"Celestial Dao Blessing Effect (One Qi Transmutes into the Three Pristine Ones): Upon launch, a Celestial Pillar will split into three identical pillars when it reaches the airspace above its target. Each of the three pillars possesses the same power as the original."

-

"Heh."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but smile, satisfied. Now the Mortal Realm’s strategic weapon, the Celestial Pillar, had become even more of a strategic asset. Coincidentally, the Mortal Realm currently had ten billion Ghost Stones, so he could start stockpiling some pillars.

After all, a single Max Level Celestial Pillar was very cheap to build.

Only 455,000 Ghost Stones.

The only issue was the long charging time—a Max Level Celestial Pillar required one full year to store its energy.

After finishing all that,

he walked over to pick up the Sound Transmission Talisman and Mother and Child Stone he had tossed aside earlier. While he had been busy choosing the Celestial Dao Blessing Effects, someone had been trying to contact him incessantly, which had annoyed him to no end.
